Chapter 408: Dust Washing Feast
Wenguo Mansion.
The news of Wen Tao's return today had already been transmitted back to Yejing and back to the Wenguo Mansion a few days ago.
The Duchess of Wenguo, Xie Shi, has been looking forward to her son's return, and on this day, she got up even early, and she couldn't sit still, and she couldn't get busy with anything.
My son has been away from home for so long, and I don't have any anger, and I only hope that my son will return safely as soon as possible.
Waited and waited, and waited and waited, and my son finally returned.
As soon as Xie saw his son, he couldn't help crying.
After walking in the northwest, Wen Tao lost weight and became dark.
Without asking too much, Xie knew that his son was not doing well.
I didn't want to ask anything, and I didn't want to say anything, so I hurriedly urged my son to take a bath and change clothes, and wash off the dust.
Wen Tao saw his mother crying, and his heart was also unhappy, and it was difficult to be sour.
But the man doesn't flick when he has tears, and he can't cry out loud in front of so many people, like his mother.
At this time, Xie Shi urged him to take a bath and change clothes, and Wen Tao hurriedly went back to his yard first.
Before leaving, Yu Guang swept his cousin Xie Wanrong's eyes with tears, Wen Tao sighed secretly, still didn't say anything, turned around and left.
He was in a lot of turmoil right now, and in this case, he really didn't want to respond to his cousin.
He knew that his escape was not the work of his eldest husband, but did he still respond to his cousin's feelings even though he knew that there was someone in his heart who couldn't let go?
This kind of thing, he can't do even more.
......
When Lu Zheng returns to Beijing, the situation in the court must be disrupted and regrouped.
The crown prince took advantage of Wang Changping's case this time to greatly sweep away the prestige of the Wang family and the eldest prince, but at the same time, it also attracted the resentment of these people.
Not only the crown prince, but also the Lu family, has also become a thorn in the side of the Wang family and the eldest prince.
Although Wang Changping was assigned by the emperor because of the Zheng family's trouble, who is the Zheng family? It is the lady of the Protector's Mansion and a member of the Lu family, so it is inevitable that the Wang family hates the Lu family.
However, even if there is no Wang Changping, the Wang family's hostility towards the Lu family is not a lot, and now it is just getting the surface.
As early as when it was decided to involve Wang Changping, the prince and Lu Zheng had already discussed, and Lu Zheng had no objection to the prince's approach.
He's not dodging, and he prefers to face it head-on rather than dodge.
Could he still be afraid that the Wang family will not succeed?
What's more, Wang Changping killed his eldest uncle, and this matter must have a result after all.
Wang Changping paid the price for his greed, and Lu Zheng did not regret it.
The Xiongnu handed over the letter of ending the war, if there is no accident, in recent years, I am afraid that there will be no big war.
However, there are no absolutes, Lu Zheng has never believed that the Xiongnu really have the intention of peace, so he is not as optimistic as Emperor Hui.
One day, a big war with the Huns is inevitable, and Lu Zheng has always understood it.
It's just that in the past, when I went to the battlefield, I had no scruples about fighting, but now I ......
Thinking of An Sheng, Lu Zheng suddenly faintly felt a sense of heroic shortness of breath.
No, An Sheng is not a burden to him, let alone a burden, if it weren't for An Sheng's soft armor of the medicine vine this time, he was afraid that he would really not be able to come back.
Thinking of this, Lu Zheng's eyes couldn't help but flash tenderness.
Just as he was out of the gods, Siqi came to report that the time had come, and the Lin family invited Lu Zheng to go to Rongxi Hall to participate in the dust washing banquet.
This dust-washing banquet was specially organized for Lu Zheng by the old lady Wei Shi, and Lu Zheng did not dare to slack off.
The Lu family's two-room family is not prosperous, but it is a three-room family, and the people are very prosperous.
The third master, Lu Wen'an, has no great ability, but he is very capable.
Oh, no, it's the wives and concubines of the third master, who are especially capable of giving birth.
Lu Wen'an's wife, Jiang, gave birth to two sons and a daughter, namely, the third young master Lu Shaoling, sixteen years old, one month younger than Lu Zheng, the fourth young master Lu Shaoyi, eleven years old, and the second young lady Lu Jinyu, thirteen years old.
Then there is the third lady Lu Yuru, born to Aunt Li, who is twelve years old.
Aunt Lan's fourth young lady Lu Peiwen, eleven years old, and the fifth young master Lu Shaochen, seven years old.
This is all the people in the third room, more than the large room and the second room combined.
It is said that Lu Zheng will hold a dust washing banquet, and the people in the third room should be there if they have nothing to do.
Except for one Lu Ming in the mansion, because of his poor health, he rarely shows up at banquets and banquets, and everyone else has nothing to do, and they still have to appear.
But this time, there was only one Lu Jiamin in the big house.
Zheng said that he was sick and couldn't get up, but in fact, whether he was really sick or pretending to be sick and didn't want to come, everyone understood.
But no one will talk nonsense.
Didn't you see the old lady sitting above, didn't Wei Shi speak, who dared to say anything nonsense?
The dust washing banquet is a family banquet in the end, except that the girls need to avoid it when they are older, so they are separated from the main table by a screen, and the others are not so particular.
The Protectorate Mansion is a family of military generals, and the rules are not so heavy compared to other families.
Every time there is a family banquet, looking at the big room and the second room that are not full of people, Wei is panicked.
Fortunately, this situation can be broken soon.
Lu Zheng, who killed three fiancées in a row, finally found the destined person in the future of the Protector's Mansion.
The Wei family had already thought about it, and as soon as this year passed, they would discuss the marriage of Lu Zheng and An Sheng, and when An Sheng entered the door, he added a new Ding to the Lu family, and the descendants of the Lu family would always be prosperous.
Everything is going in a good direction, and as for the things that make people unhappy, it's okay, I'm happy today, and I don't mention those things.
Because of Zheng's absence, the atmosphere at the dust washing banquet was still relatively relaxed and pleasant, at least except for Zheng, no one would say sour words in front of Lu Zheng.
After the dust washing banquet, everyone moved to the flower hall to drink tea, chatted with the old lady for a while, and retired together.
The old lady left Lu Zheng and Lin's mother and son.
The others were also interested, and after bowing honestly, they left.
When Wei left his grandson behind, he naturally had something to say and something to instruct.
Therefore, as soon as everyone left, they took their grandson and daughter-in-law to the inner hall and whispered.
The matter of giving marriage has passed, and it was the same situation at that time, and Wei couldn't explain anything to his grandson, but fortunately, Lu Zheng was not a fool, Wei didn't mention it, and he didn't say anything himself.
Wei has always known that this grandson is filial, and he can't help but feel relieved when he sees this.
I don't mention the marriage in the past, but I still have to talk about the things in the court.
The Lu family now has no middle-aged man who can withstand the court, and there are some things that the Wei family has to mention some grandchildren.
Although she is a woman, she has grown so much, how to say it, there are some things that Lu Zheng does not have.
What Wei wants to say is naturally the Wang family's business.
Since this feud has been settled and cannot be resolved easily, then it is necessary to discuss and discuss how to deal with it in the future.
